I think these would be my top three this year with the Bender and Evers being nearly impossible to find while the Wagner is just a classic card.
That Chief Bender card... WOW. Beauty and artisanship were the hallmarks of those early cards. Great find.
Collecting... 1978 Topps Baseball autograph set
1952 Topps Baseball raw
Mine - a 1926 Pottsville Maroons real photo post card of fullback Barney Wentz that was purchased from the Wentz family and was his personal copy of the post card. Barney was a member of Penn State's first Rose Bowl team in 1923, was All-NFL or All-Pro with the Maroons in 1925 and 1926, unofficially led the NFL in rushing both seasons (official stats began in 1932) and led the NFL in touchdowns in 1926. There are three copies of this Barney Wentz post card known to the hobby to exist.
This is my favorite purchase of the year. I bought this to upgrade the set already had. 7 of the cards were grade upgrades and 14 were used to replace cards of the same grade but these were better centered and looked better.

Awesome cards...love the design and color scheme of the Red Hearts. My 2021 goal is to pick some up!
Tough to choose one, as I snagged a high-end Patrick Roy collection in April with some super tough 90's inserts. These would have to be the favorites though:
ETA now that I got my scanner working. This one takes the cake for the year:
Main collecting focus is Patrick Roy playing days 85/86-02/03, expect 1/1, National/All-Star stamped cards.PC Completion: 2,548/2,952; 86.31% My Patrick Roy PC Website:https://proy33collector.weebly.com

Purchased raw knowing it was low grade, but absolutely thrilled to have this in my collection.
